that would be cool, it would act a lot more like texting on iphones now where you can tell if its been read, although with the page open all the time for glip (which is how i run it) if i leave that message chain open you run the risk of a mesagge being "read" but not literally being read.

Whatsapp tells you when your message was a) delivered to someone and b) when it was actually read. This is very useful especially in a team environment which is why I would like to see this for GLIP messenger please.

I def see the value in this, however, sometimes I don't want people to know that I've read a message just yet, so at the very least, it would be great if it can be toggled on/off per user (if that's even possible).

When I look at my dashboard, I see a number next to my teams showing how many unread messages might be in there. As soon as I click on one of those team, all of those numbers go away. Now I have no idea where my new messages are because I did not have the opportunity to 'read' them or choose to leave them as 'unread'. Just like in any email application, I would LOVE to see unread messages in bold until I say I've read it by clicking on it individually and also have the option of changing it to unread so that I may be able to come back to it later.
